1 Kings 17:2

17:2 The Lord told him: 1 

Genesis 22:14

22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place “The Lord provides.” 2  It is said to this day, 3  “In the mountain of the Lord provision will be made.” 4 

Isaiah 41:17

41:17 The oppressed and the poor look for water, but there is none;

their tongues are parched from thirst.

I, the Lord, will respond to their prayers; 5 

I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.

Hebrews 13:6

13:6 So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, and 6  I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” 7 

1 tn Heb “and the word of the Lord came to him, saying.”

2 tn Heb “the Lord sees” (יְהוָה יִרְאֶה, yÿhvah yir’eh, traditionally transliterated “Jehovah Jireh”; see the note on the word “provide” in v. 8). By so naming the place Abraham preserved in the memory of God’s people the amazing event that took place there.

3 sn On the expression to this day see B. Childs, “A Study of the Formula ‘Until this Day’,” JBL 82 (1963): 279-92.

4 sn The saying connected with these events has some ambiguity, which was probably intended. The Niphal verb could be translated (1) “in the mountain of the Lord it will be seen/provided” or (2) “in the mountain the Lord will appear.” If the temple later stood here (see the note on “Moriah” in Gen 22:2), the latter interpretation might find support, for the people went to the temple to appear before the Lord, who “appeared” to them by providing for them his power and blessings. See S. R. Driver, Genesis, 219.

5 tn Heb “will answer them” (so ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

6 tc Some important mss (א* C* P 0285vid 33 1175 1739 pc lat) lack καί (kai), but because the omission conforms to the wording of Ps 118:6 (117:6 LXX), it is suspect.
